Default Loose Part in Corsa

I'm looking into buying a used Corsa Cat Back. There seems to be something loose in the passenger side muffler. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Will it ping around once the exhaust is flowing through it?

Sure, it could be a piece of the baffling or a chunk of a broken catalytic convertor. You can't get it to fall out by tipping the muffler? If you can't get it to fall out, I doubt you'll here it when the car is running.

Thanks, that pretty much answers my question.
